You saved a Plane. Why waste it on a failure? Barack Obama used you, just like dozens of others. He was Elected because he was Black, You?

we are going a little overboard with this story.

Fan of Common Sense

Captain Sullenberger is obviously a terrrific pilot and he is probably a good man, but I do not understand why this guy is considered a hero. A hero is someone who goes above and beyond and does something he or she is not required to do, with little or no regard for his or her own self-interest or well-being. Captain Sullenberger did not do anything on that day that he did not HAVE to do. It was the only course of action. The plane had no lift. The man is NOT a hero....just a very calm, well-trained pilot. We need to start using the word "hero" more sparingly.

Good

I like him. He's cool like President Obama.

arithmetic is liberal

Griff you sure are smart.

Of course Obama got elected because he was Black! After all, look at all those other presidents who got elected before him. Clinton, Bush, Bush, Reagan, they were all... black... too, right?

What?

You don't like my comments CNN... Ok. But you will still go down with your Hero. Suckers. You know so little CNN. I tried. When will CNN. When will America? This Planet is so Small. Yet you still live in the 15th Century...

@ Griff -, 721: Here you rear your deformed negative I.Q head again. What did you say your main achievement in life was again, If Any?:

It will be a pleasure to have someone speak who CAN speak and explainin a manner all can undersatnd [Except the Hateful GOP politicians along the BIBLE BELT] Never saw such a group of hateful people who take advantage of their constituency to preach and enact hate for folks of lesser means and less fortunate then the policticos themselves. They could not get elected in a more diverse,knowledgeable population . the underdog is the meals for these right wing hateful politicians. DEMS from Senator shelby's state forgot that this sleaze bag ran and took democrat money to get elected and when he got to DC he changed parties and has been a disgrace since.

The only place the Republicans are going is down. Not even heaven can help them. They can't seem to learn from the lessons of the past eight years. Time has change and most Americans are tired of your arrogance, bitterness and your evil so-called Christian values that are so far from Christianity that the Hubble telescope can't find it it a million years. Go figure!

Sully, you'd be better off flying into another flock of geese rather than associate with nancy pelosi

Gerry in Va. for Obama.

Griff... The sad truth is, you are a very hateful person besides being a hard hearted, die hard republican and IF your from the United States, you are unamerican. You need to have some counciling on anger management dude..
